Introduction

The world's
place names have hidden sentences in them, written in what today would be
called the Basque Language. Considering where these geographical names
are and the age of the places they represent, it is obvious that the language
cannot be Basque, but must be an earlier form of it. Nyland (2001) called this proto language:
the "Saharan Language" or better the Universal
Language" because it applies to many related languages on
every continent and because its existence can be traced back at least 7,000
years (see Ainu). The Basque Language must be
very close to the original Saharan Language and therefore the Basque
dictionary of Gorka Aulestia was used. The overwhelming majority of the names
were made up with the vowel-interlocking formula (VCV
Formula), but here and there, the name originators cheated or slipped and
ignored the inter-locking.
